Music Moments

Sacred spaces contained dynamic music moments this fall, with the DePue Brothers Band at Keneseth Israel in Elkins Park, Pa., and Philos Brass at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Wayne, Pa. The first sparked from classical chops meeting bluegrass, in what band members call "grassical" (hear it on their album, "Weapons of Grass Construction"). The second brought together classical brass players, a new configuration of old friends and fresh colleagues, who clearly had fun making music together and sharing it. And I loved the chance to watch first, listen second, and try to catch fleeting moments of music in pixels.
